Brother Pfeil and his misadventure


September 28, 1772

"Brother Pfeil carelessly and In spite of warning from the other brethren,went too near the young horse, which have been recently broken, and the horse struck him with his fore leg, knocked him down, and stepped on his ankle. The other brothers set it as well as they could, and brought him home in the evening."

"Brother Bonn came from Salem and examined Brother Pfeil's foot, and found that the large bone is either split or splintered, which is worse than a simple break. It was very hot today." -- Bethabara Diary 1772
